I got this little guy from Ross exactly one year ago. It's quite a vigorous plant—already has five growths—and the flowers are wonderful. I'm really looking forward to growing it into a nice little specimen plant.

I hope Peter doesn't mind me crashing the thread, but I thought that I could answer the question.
No, I used barbigerum 'G' for this cross. It's currently in bloom with four flowers just opening. Here's a picture of an earlier bloom. I believe Rick inTexas also has a piece of this plant.
I had barbigerum fma. aureum 'War Eagle', but it wasn't growing well enough to hold a pod and its progeny were still just seedlings. The helenae pollen used came from a helenae sold to me by Antec. While I have never verified the facts directly from Bob or Lynn, I remember hearing that they had legally selfed a "rescued" plant growing at the U.S. Botanical Garden, just like the vietnamense they had offered flasks of a few years earlier. They had already stopped selling off their website, but had posted the helenae for sale on EBay. I was lucky enough to win the bid.

That is very cute. I made this cross myself. The flask should be ready soon hopefully.

Thanks for weighing in, Ross! And that's a very nice looking barbigerum you've got there.
Also, thanks to everyone else for your kind remarks! I really do love these minis.

Thanks Ross. Barbigerum is probably the most vigorous species I have ever seen. I have a barbigerum x barbigerum aureum 'war eagle' that is currently in sheath. I am planning to self it to hopefully get an albino. It's currently a 4 growth plant with 5 starts.

Your plant may be from my original AQ cross as I sold flasks to several other growers.

Wössner sounds like Franz Glanz in Bavaria Germany and Zwerg is german for dwarf! Jean
Love this small cutie. I wish I had one...or more.
